1 Scope
This European Standard introduces general requirements on video transmission. A detailed
specification on analog video transmission over different media including signal and
performance requirements is already defined in prEN 50132‑5‑3. For the growing number of surveillance applications based on IP video transmission
the requirements are defined in 2 standards. This standard covers in the following
clauses the general requirements for video transmissions on performance, security
and conformance to basic IP connectivity, based on available, well-known, international
standards. In areas where more detailed IP requirements are necessary additional specifications
are given, in order to reach compatibility. In this European Standard no detailed
and special CCTV protocols are defined. In Part 2 of this European Standard, a detailed video IP protocol , messages and commands on top of the general connectivity and performance requirements
of Part 1 are defined. Part 2 defines an IP protocol for full interoperability (e.g. PTZ control, eventing, etc.) of video transmission
devices used in surveillance applications.
The first section of this standard defines the minimum performance requirements on
video transmission for security applications in IP networks. In surveillance applications,
the requirements on timing, quality and availability are strict and defined in the
last section of this standard. Guidelines for network architecture on how these requirements
can be fulfilled are given.
The second section of this European Standard defines requirements on basic IP connectivity
